Lots of people just don't care about the technical details of why it's better from a consumer point
of view.
And if you're explaining this to management it becomes very easy.
Six is better than five
I'm walking in the forest.
Why does that matter.
Well the great thing is I can pull out my phone and I can still check my email if I want to.
Now for a lot of us when we go out into nature we don't want to have access to the Internet.
But I think for many of us we still want to be connected.
Now the great thing about the Sally a network is I can see how good my signal is by simply looking at
my phone.
It's just shifted actually from 3G to 4G so I know that 4G is better than 3G because of the simple numbering
convention used in selling networks.
I know that 5G is gonna be better than 4G and 4G is better than 3G simply because of the numbers.
So really happy that I've walked up this hill a bit more but out of breath but my signal has improved
from 3G to 4G which is great internet connection is now better.
But in Wi-Fi we don't have that.
While we didn't have that we had weird numbers and names like AT&T 11 B in the past from a non-technical
users point of view they just didn't seem to be any logic.
We have edited out eleven B and then we go to a and then suddenly we go to G and then we go to n and
then we go to AC and now a X there's no logic in that.
So you know which channels are used.
Who cares about the channels if you're a non-technical user all you care about is speed and reliability.
So which standard allows me to connect to the Internet more quickly with less trouble and which one
is quicker.
All I care about is getting to Facebook as a user.
I don't care about the underlying infrastructure.
I mean as an analogy do you care how your electricity gets to your house.
No.
All you care about is that when you turn the lights on they go on.
So from a non-technical users point of view the same thing applies.
They don't care if a is better than gee it's better than a C or whatever they just want better throughput
better reliability and I think the Wi-Fi Alliance has done something really good here.
They've changed the naming convention used.
They've changed the name.
So rather than talking about a C or A X from a layman's point of view or a non-technical users point
of view we can now talk about Wi-Fi six Wi-Fi five Wi-Fi for so n is Wi-Fi for not as good as AC which
has Wi-Fi five which is not good as a exe which is Wi-Fi sex.
It's so much easier for a non-technical user to understand which Wi-Fi is better.
Six is obviously better than five which is obviously better than for
and guess what.
Yeah I've got a 4G connection.
I know once again that 4G is better than 3G which is better than 2G.
I don't have to understand the technical details of why it's better.
I just know it's better because four is better than three and in the same way.
I know as a consumer or user non-technical person that Wi-Fi 6 is better than Wi-Fi five better than
Wi-Fi for lots of people just don't care about the technical details of why it's better from a consumer
point of view.
And if you're explaining this to management it becomes very easy six is better than five if they want
to know the technical details you can get into the technical details and we'll discuss that in this
video but you don't have to.
You can simply say six is better than five.
Just like you and probably many people that you know just to just assume or know inverted commas that
4G is better than 3G and they know that 5G is better than 4G.
We just assume that because that's what we've been told.
Without actually understanding necessarily may not be true for you but for a lot of people the technical
details of why 4G is better than 3G as a consumer we just realize that if we get a 4G connection the
Internet is going to be faster.
So I'm going to be happier.
Same is true now for Wi-Fi.
If I get a Wi-Fi six router I'm going to be a lot happier than someone who's got a Wi-Fi 3 router or
Wi-Fi for RADA because it's going to be quicker it's going to be better.
It's gonna be easier to connect and all I care about is getting to Facebook.
Getting to Instagram getting to certain Web sites as quickly as I can.
I don't care about the technical details.
So this rebranding exercise makes a lot of sense and it makes it a lot easier for vendors to brand their
routers and their wireless devices so that users know which devices better a device with a branding
of six who's gonna be better than a device with a branding of five or four just like we know that 5G
is better than 4G which is better than 3G.
So makes a lot of sense.
